The Vampire Dormitory anime adaptation has gotten a teaser trailer. The main voice cast members were revealed as well.
The latter are Kana Ichinose as Mito Yamamoto, Shuichi Toki as Ruka Saotome, and Yuuichiro Umehara as Ren Nikaido.
Vampire Dormitory will premiere this April. The anime is based on the manga by Ema Touyama. Kodansha USA describes the plot as:
“I’ll do it! I’ll become your thrall!” A crossdressing girl and an obsessive vampire find themselves entangled in a dangerous relationship. A heart-pounding BL-esque romance drama from the award-winning Ema Toyama (Missions of Love, Aoba-kun’s Confessions)!
Mito, who has no family to rely on, lives on the streets, disguised as a boy. Ruka, a vampire, saves her from a perilous situation and makes her an offer: become his subservient thrall from which he can feed whenever he wants, and she can live with him—in the boys’ dorm. Because her very existence depends on her secret not being found out, every day is a new danger—to say nothing of that vampire! Meanwhile, Ruka, not knowing Mito’s a girl, dotes on her night and day in an attempt to ripen her “disgusting male blood,” but when real feelings develop… this dangerous romance between a crossdressing girl and an obsessive vampire begins!
The manga started serialization in Nakayoshi since 2018 and has 12 tankoubon volumes as of November 2023. The anime adaptation celebrates Nakayoshi’s 70th anniversary and Touyama’s 20th anniversary as a manga author.
